Abstract

This article aims to address the relationship between the institute of evidence and the principle of real truth within the scope of criminal procedural law, analyzing and highlighting several elements, including etymology, object, objective, subjective purpose and the right to production of evidence within the scope of criminal procedural law, emphasizing in the present study that the truth that emerged in the process that we here name as “procedural truth” does not always represent the fact that occurred when the crime was committed. In addition, we will analyze what is “truth”, its concept, origin of the word, the fact to be proven observed from a legal point of view, not forgetting also the principles of in dubio pro reo and that of “standard beyond a reasonable doubt”

Keywords: Proof; Facts; Truth; Principle of real truth; Criminal Procedural Law; Judge's conviction; It proves beyond any reasonable doubt
